Portugal's capital stretches across seven hills overlooking the
Tagus River, with its many
barrios (neighborhoods) linked by trams to ease the steep climbs. Most of our curated Lisbon hotels are dotted throughout central
Baixa/Chiado, full of historic landmarks and convenient transport links (and fewer crowds than the nearby Bairro Alto). For something mid-range, the Art Deco
Nicola Rossio Hotel overlooks the action of
Rossio Square, while a few blocks west, the family-run
Casa Balthazar offers an upscale oasis with art-filled rooms and a courtyard pool. More luxurious options branch off the
Avenida da Liberdade, a neoclassical artery that bisects the city from north to south. Try the
Hotel Lisboa Plaza for an elegant, old-world feel with service to match, or the
H10 Duque de Loule for designer interiors and a spectacular roof terrace.
